### Summary The editor has been getting increasingly unstable when it comes to hovering over options or assets. Here, it freezes completely and remains unusable until it is closed with task manager. Two hours later and the screen is frozen exactly as it is seen in the screenshot, the asset details forcing itself in front of all windows. ### Please select what you are reporting on: Unreal Editor for Fortnite ### What Type of Bug are you experiencing? Stability ### Steps to Reproduce Load an island, potentially one of larger project size, and hover over assets to be placed. Audio in level sequences seem to cause this freezing most often, if not every time. ### Expected Result The editor should not be freezing from simply hovering over an asset. ### Observed Result At random, the editor freezes beyond its capability to recover, observed after 2+ hours of the program sitting idle. ### Platform(s) PC ### Upload an image ![Screenshot 2026-06-22 211606.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/2/5/0/250bbb9a4a0d251bec8508b31700d63ae9a68e45.png) ### Additional Notes When this freeze happens, the asset detail window is forced in front of all other windows and cannot be moved or closed without UEFN being terminated via task manager. ---

Opening visual studio also destroys UEFN and my session, VS says its because of the extensions (don’t have any extensions other than the default verse ones) ---

[OutputLogs.zip](https://forums.unrealengine.com/uploads/short-url/pVSqaNeRyCDpvxLhWCfWqvX33Td.zip) (4.7 KB) Like this? Should I have waited for one of these freezes to occur before sending this? Thank you for reaching out! ---

Yes, please reproduce the freeze and share the logs from that session, ideally without restarting UEFN in between, since the log resets on each launch. Please, as shared in the previous instructions, zip all the files in “ **\AppData\Local\UnrealEditorFortnite\Saved\Logs** ” and upload them here. The most important one should be “ **UnrealEditorFortnite.log** ” THANK YOU! ---

Trying to upload the new logs and it says the file it too large, what should I do? ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/b/9/7/b9704189bb630b21a7776607ce22d85b8e454b12.png) ---

You could share them on Google Drive or [https://wetransfer.com/](https://wetransfer.com/). You can also send them to me on Discord as long as you’re in the [Fortnite Creative & UEFN Official](http://discord.gg/fortnitecreative) server. You’ll have to send me a message request first if we don’t already have a chat open. ---
